I just had my application and all documents returned (via DHL) to me back to the UK after two weeks because I didn't put 'N/A or Not applicable' on the field 'your name in ethnic script'. Deciding whether to laugh, cry, or both.

Oh, you're kidding me... I didn't put N/A for anything. If it didn't apply, I just left it blank. It didn't even occur to me. FFS...

I think I'm going to cry.

Did they give you any notice before sending it back, or did you just receive it in the mail one day? Do you have to start fresh on the application, or can you just add N/A to where it's missing?

This sucks What a waste of resources. I don't know why they can't email asking for specific pages to be resubmitted if it's just a case of missing fields.

Hope you get it sorted quickly.

It really does feel super inefficient! If they have an online system in place for other types of visa applications, surely they could have something similar for just "filling in the blanks" if the application is missing fields.

Or, as you say, I wouldn't mind just printing off the page in question, filling it in, and then sending it off individually within an envelope. Rather than paying £15+ and waiting another couple weeks for it to make the journey again.
